Once upon a time in Mumbai, a forthcoming film directed by Milan Luthria and starring Ajay Devgan,[1] Emraan Hashmi,[2] Prachi Desai,[3] and Kangana Ranaut co-produced by Suniel Shetty’s Popcorn Entertainment and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, will highlight the emergence of organised crime in the city in the yesteryears.This film is slated for release in 2010.
The film draws its theme from the lives of these three gangsters who ruled the streets of the Bombay that once resonated with the Haji Mastan, Karim Lala and Varadarajan Muniswami Mudaliar.
“The film will portray a period in Mumbai when the city first saw what organised crime was and the extent of violence it can cause,” says Milan. “Our film is based on what the city went through in that period, how suddenly the gangsters ruled the streets and people were terrified. Though it is a gangster movie, it will also show the contemporary cabaret culture of the city”
Kangana plays the character inspired by yesteryear actress Sona, girlfriend of renowned gangster on 1970’s Haji Mastan..Ajay Devgan plays the character of Haji Mastaan.
Parallel to the main plot will be the story of Mastan’s unrequited love during the 60s for Indian actress Madhubala.[8] She never returned his feelings, and after her tragic death in 1969, Mastan was devastated. He later married starlet Sona, a Madhubala look-a-like who he later launched in films.
Watch out for Kangana’s unique and never seen before retro look in the film while Ajay Devgan plays his role of a gangster with a very typical elan he has come to be loved for.
